(Cut-leaf Alder)Slow growing and unusual, slender small tree with filigree-like, deeply cut, sea-green leaves a little similar in appearance to those of a maple.

The leaves are exceptionally pretty and elegant and once established this Alder has an attractive, vaguely oriental appearance.

Alnus glutinosa 'Imperialis' is a classic plant for damp sites and particularly ornamental when planted next to a pond or stream!
